# ah the first
gig always goes slightly wrong. You wait til the inevitable 4th or 5th gig when everything is perfect but hardly anyone comes. Then the next gig you play is in front of nearly a thousand people and you're back to problems again. it's brill.

# well there was only about twenty people there this time.
define "hardly anyone"....

I jumped on my wah pedal too hard to turn it off, and botted it off my pedal board, which pulled all my leads out, and im the only guitarist, so it sounded shite for like 30 seconds whilst i got my shit together.

# haha
brilliant. I had blood all over me at our last gig. I got all excited in the last song and jumped and banged my head really hard on a metal girder above the stage. finished the song tho. just.

# i fucked my neck up
from over vigorous headbanging....

i bust a string on an improvised funky jam too, and then played the next song with five strings. and my mic wasnt on for the entire gig, so i couldnt do backing vocals...

# good good
glad to know that doesn't just happen to me then. we should get a collaborative b3ta metal band going. give a tempo, and a key, and then build up from there. I think.

im already working on a b3ta track with koit entitled "brimful of mindpiss" but a metal b3ta band would rock!
